Dropbox is Essential to our Business

5.0 9 months ago

Comments: Overall we like Dropbox a LOT and use it every day. If I had the option I'd go back in time and have started using it earlier.

Pros:

Dropbox for business is one of the most essential business services we use. To be honest we used the free version for many years, then upgraded several times until we got to where we are now. We are willing to pay for the cloud storage because it secures our data off site and allows us to access it out of the office. That doesn't seem like a big deal today but it wasn't always as easy as it is now. We basically use it as a file cabinet and keep about half our active files in it and use it as an archive for all our old files. It's accessed every single day and at this point we couldn't live without it. I highly recommend Dropbox for Businesses.

Cons:

One of the main cons is that we are not able to have multiple people working on the same document at the same time like Google Drive. So we have pivoted and keep more of our PDF's and non living files in Dropbox.

Good for what it does, but too pricey to be my favorite

4.0 2 months ago New

Comments: I like Dropbox Business as a cloud storage solution, but feel strongly that it does not hold up as an all-in-one product. You still need other products to get your work done and/or integrate them with Dropbox Business.

Pros:

Dropbox Business has an ease of use for those who are low tech savvy. I find it to be an intuitive interface for navigating, uploading, and organizing files quite similar to the File Explorer within Windows computers. Thus, it was simple to figure out how to use Dropbox Business. Better than File Explorer is Dropbox Business's version history log and ability to restore deleted files - this has saved me more times than I can count. Of course, the selling point is large file storage and ability to send large files which is extremely helpful with media like videos in particular.

Cons:

These days, the cloud is a very expensive place to own property. There is no beating around the bush that Dropbox Business is more costly than competitors. The price for this product is hardly comparable to a product like Google Workspace which hosts a variety of tools. Dropbox Business has some catching up to do there. The only advantage Dropbox Business has is storage size. There have also been times where the Dropbox system slows or freezes. I'd like to think that in 2024 we are past having files freeze up so this is a bit annoying.

Dropbox business medium bussines

3.0 9 months ago

Comments: I had really had a good experience as a personal user but in the company when I implemented it the cost was very high so I had to reduce the users who really had access and who needed their information at hand.

Pros:

I liked that we could store information from a computer and transfer it to a mobile phone without having to send emails and have the information from any computer linked to the user.

Cons:

the cost of this platform per user was very expensive and if the user really used it for storage it could be profitable but if not it was too expensive to be an information channel.

Reliable and Scalable Cloud Storage Solution for Teams

4.0 4 months ago

Comments: My overall experience with Dropbox Business has been positive. It’s a dependable solution for secure file storage and collaboration. The platform has enhanced team productivity by ensuring everyone has access to the latest files regardless of location. Dropbox’s integration capabilities with other tools in our tech stack further streamline our workflows.

Pros:

The most appealing aspects of Dropbox Business for me were its dependable file synchronization across devices and its smooth collaboration tools. Even with huge teams, managing and sharing files is made simple by the user-friendly interface. The admin controls and granular permissions are great for protecting data security without sacrificing flexibility. By storing rarely used files in the cloud and making them still available from the desktop, the Smart Sync feature helps optimize storage usage.

Cons:

When working with very large files, Dropbox Business occasionally experiences synchronization delays, which is what I liked least about it. Furthermore, the cost may be a little higher than with other cloud storage options, particularly for smaller teams or companies.

The main player in its field

5.0 last month New

Comments: A solid and very well-known and estabilished file sharing service, with thousands of 3rd party integrations and solid features to store and sync your files and share or collaborate as needed. A first-class player in the field, and for good reasons.

Pros:

Huge space available, with a nice UI to manage your files in an intuitive way, and a desktop and mobile app to access, sync and backup you stuff.

Cons:

It is quite pricey for personal use, although it gets a bit better with annual contracts and business tier (but you have to have at least three users and pay for each one).

Pros:

Free Cloud usage, user-friendly, sync features, and can work offline. Able to work remotely.

Cons:

The file-sharing takes up more space even when files are deleted. Dropbox personnel can see my documents. And can become expensive.

The Best Choice for Teams

5.0 3 weeks ago New

Comments: When our project got larger than the initial scope, the Dropbox Business account was the only reasonable choice, relative to the high value per dollar it brings for its mostly-seamless cloud storage.

Pros:

It's the industry-standard for team-accessible document sharing.

Cons:

Syncing can be problematic, if I can't get reliable internet to my MacBooks.

Good cloud storage solution

5.0 2 months ago

Comments: I really like using Dropbox Business. My files are always available no matter what device I am using. They are easy to find and organize too. I use this mostly internally but occasionally I will need to send a file to a customer and I like that they have no problem opening the link.

Pros:

My favorite thing about Dropbox business is that it stays up to date no matter what device I am using. When I travel I use my iPad and cell phone and when I'm in the office I am on my laptop and no matter how I access this, the files are always up to date.

Cons:

It seems like I am upgrading my storage all the time. I wish there was a larger option for a cheaper price. The price just seems to keep going up.

For the project director, managing research projects is incredibly convenient and secure with it.

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: In addition, it makes version control possible, which makes it possible to monitor modifications and access previous iterations of documents. This is a crucial feature for managing research-derived data.

Pros:

In addition to facilitating simple access, Dropbox Business offers ample cloud storage to manage all of the project's research data and documents. To promote teamwork, the tool enables real-time file editing and collaboration with shared folders. Via file encryption and two-factor authentication, the platform offers the highest level of security for confidential research data. To further improve productivity, Dropbox Business integrates with various platforms and tools.

Cons:

Limited functionality when offline, which may present a challenge in places with spotty internet service. Even with lots of storage, there might be restrictions depending on the subscription plan, which could mean making extra purchases.

Dropbox in a medical business

4.0 10 months ago

Comments: Unlike other software, Dropbox Business has a good memory capacity, sometimes it falls short considering the material we upload to the platform, however, it has been the only one that has been able to collaborate with us in our employee education process due to Because it allows us to upload many more resources than other software and preserves them for a longer time.

Pros:

We have easily accessible information regarding our patients and medical and technical education as a company. For us it is very important to train our staff with the best teachers, courses, diplomas and conferences, generating their own medical criteria for each employee. Dropbox allows us to have this information at hand and easily accessible to everyone outside and inside the company.

Cons:

Certain documents, especially recorded conferences, are very heavy and usually take up a significant part of the memory offered by the software.

Expensive to be rolled out to a bigger user base.

SYNCING FILE WITH DROPBOX

5.0 7 months ago

Comments: My overall experience of Dropbox was always fantastic. Despite having some limitations, it fulfills all my requirements. If you are worried about your large files and where to keep them, then Dropbox should be your first choice.

Pros:

It offers a smart document scanning system. However, it comes only in mobile version of this app. It helps the user to upload their files more easily and fast. It always helps me and saves my valuable time.

Cons:

Its customer support isn’t good. Their response is always low. This sector should be developed and they should listen to their users for the improvement of their software.

Not just a simple cloud storage solution for sure

5.0 last year

Comments: I've employed Dropbox in both Windows and MacOS and it consistently exhibits stable performance. Its user-friendly and intuitive nature eliminates the need for a learning curve. This, in turn, relieves us of concerns related to the secure storage and protection of our documents, allowing us to focus on the critical aspect – the efficient operation of our company.

Pros:

Dropbox Business excels in its capacity to store vast amounts of data and allows users to choose specific folders for synchronization to their desktop. This approach prevents the immediate overload of a new computer with excessive data, ensuring usability. Simultaneously, users retain access to everything they might need, albeit in a less frequent version, by viewing it through their online browser.

Cons:

Personally, I wish there was a version with fewer features that excludes all the collaboration tools, focusing solely on sharing and syncing. Some team members do not require those advanced features, and the current pricing is too high for those who solely use it for file storage.
